Duck Stuff: Morning Mud

I'd heard earlier in the week that John Boyett was being limited, at least at the start, to help him recover from injuries that nagged him last fall. Sounds like Josh Huff is getting the same treatment after playing through a stress fracture last season, as senior receiver Justin Hoffman said both he and Huff are working primarily as mentors to the young wideouts right now.

“We had too many drops today, but it’s been a good first four days and we’ll see how they can bounce back,” stated Kelly. “They’re starting to get in to a rhythm of how we’re doing things now and once that newness wears off -- you’re always fired up the first couple days of practice -- and once you get to practice six, seven, eight, nine; when you get to the finish line, is when you can really test yourself.”
